• Description:
  The Women’s Health Promotion (WHP) intervention includes twelve intensive 90- to -120- minute sessions delivered over 12 weeks. The WHP consists of four standard HIV education sessions (lasting about 6 to 9 hours) that address HIV transmission and prevention, sexually transmitted diseases, sexual and reproductive anatomy, condom practice, and condom negotiation skills. These sessions use lectures, group discussion, and skill-building exercises and games to teach participants. The eight additional sessions involve speakers on a variety of topics deemed relevant by participants, including general mental health, depression, cervical cancer, non-HIV-related partner communication, diabetes, nutrition, partner violence, oppression, and social justice. WHP is implemented in small, closed groups comprised of 10 to 16 women, co-facilitated by two bilingual community health educators, and conducted in Spanish.
